Villain Princess.

Aurora knew that Prince Brian was curious, but she couldn’t reveal more than that.

It wouldn’t be fun otherwise.

"This shall be all, Prince Brian. I’m sure you need to rest and prepare for your departure," Aurora said as she stood up elegantly.

Prince Brian arched his eyebrows.

The main reason why he stopped in this village was indeed because he found some information and not because he wanted to stay here. After all, this kind of small village was not very comfortable.

After staying on the battlefield for a long time, Prince Brian missed the luxury at the palace.

Of course, he would not return right away.

But there were other mansions that he could use to rest rather than this broken inn.

"It’s a farewell for now." Prince Brian chuckled and stood up. "But I’m sure that we’ll meet each other again soon."

"Indeed." Aurora was calm.

They would indeed see each other again, but that was for later. With that, the two of them came out of the room and saw their subordinates were staring at each other and seemed to be eager to fight.

Some of them even had their hands on the hilt of their sword, ready to take it out if it was necessary.

Aurora: "..."

Prince Brian: "..."

"It’s time to go back," Aurora said. She felt that these people were really funny. Neither she or Prince Brian had the intention to fight against each other.

After all, what was the point?

It was not like the two of them were mortal enemies.

"Yes."

Prince Brian also waved his hand and led his men away.

Aurora glanced at Prince Lester and saw him staring in Prince Brian’s direction. Considering that Prince Lester did suffer in Prince Brian’s hand when he was young, she thought that his eyes would show his hatred or anger.

But there was none of it.

There was only calmness.

Either Prince Lester had truly put down this matter in his heart or it was because he was good at concealing his feelings.

No matter which one it was, it was good that he didn’t take any action.

"We’ll rest here for the time being," Aurora said.

"Yes, Miss."

Prince Lester lowered his head and obeyed Aurora’s command.

Aurora walked back to her room and thought about her next step. Now that she was already here, she would make her preparation as soon as possible.

After all, if Adela truly chose to come to the Red Kingdom, she had to prepare a thorough welcome for her.

Moreover, there was still the Queen Rachel who might not want to let her off.

Hmm~.

...

The Yellow Kingdom, Queen Ella’s Place

The incident where Crown Prince Edward attacked the second prince spread at rapid pace. There were many servants who were working during that time and the teacher’s voice was very loud when he scolded Crown Prince Edward.

Many people heard it.

Thus, the spread of the incident became inevitable.

Queen Ella’s expression was thoroughly dark when she found out that her son, Crown Prince Edward, might not be saved in the end. This made Queen Ella felt immense heartache that she even came to her second son.

"Why did you do that? He’s your brother!"

The second prince looked at his mother who almost cried and tilted his head. He felt that he couldn’t understand why his mother has always been partial to her older brother.

Just because he was born first, then he should be the one favored?

Just because Crown Prince Edward was made the crown prince, he had everything in the world?

Is it his fault that he was born a few years later than Crown Prince Edward?

Both of them are the children of their parents, yet the second prince felt that they have never truly cared for him. Perhaps in their eyes, he was nothing more than an additional person that was not necessary at all.

Heh.

"Why are you laughing?" Queen Ella was furious.

"I didn’t do anything," the second prince replied. "It’s your attitude that’s ridiculous, Mother."

"Insolent!"

The second prince took a step back to avoid getting hit by accident in case his mother truly got violent. Even though the education taught them not to get violent at all time, but the second prince had already offended his mother today.

It would not be easy for her to calm down in this state.

"I’ll go back to rest first, Mother. I’m still injured," the second prince said, bowed, and then left.

Queen Ella looked at the second prince’s back and took a deep breath.

She had tried her best to pave way for Crown Prince Edward by making a lot of arrangement for him ever since he was young. As long as he used his brain even if it was just a little bit, he should be able to secure the throne easily.

Yet, he did none of those.

Queen Ella felt that everyone was going against her.

She couldn’t even rely on her sons.

"I have to convince him..." Queen Ella looked at the main hall and took a deep breath. She knew that the Yellow Kingdom’s King’s mind was not so easy to change. But she had to try because the one on the line is her son.

She couldn’t just let Crown Prince Edward suffer.

Even if Queen Ella had told herself several times that she had more Ethan one child, but at this moment, Queen Ella could only think about Crown Prince Edward.

The second prince had already walked away, his expression was cold.

He knew that parents might be partial to one child. After all, it was difficult to make sure that they cared for all children the same.

But if the partialness was so much like this... it made the second prince wonder if he had done something wrong when he was young.

’How ridiculous.’

The second prince took a deep breath and made his way back to his own palace. He had no intention to stay here.

His older brother’s charge was already clear.

Moreover, the second prince could see that the Yellow Kingdom’s King didn’t think highly of his first son anymore. Even if Crown Prince Edward would not be punished heavily, he should lose his qualification to the throne.

And that was what the second prince wanted.

...

The Royal Palace, Adela’s side

Adela was still like a statue, sitting quietly in the study room. Her parents had gone to confront the Yellow Kingdom’s King to discuss about this matter.

If Crown Prince Edward is no longer the crown prince, Duchess Isabella would not allow this engagement to continue.

And this made Adela confused.

Should she agree with her mother’s approach or not?

Among these few people whom she had contacted ever since she was young, her favorite was naturally Crown Prince Edward. He was really fun and also took great care of her, making Adela very happy.

But Duchess Isabella told her very clearly that without the status of the crown prince, Crown Prince Edward would have a difficult life.

He used to be the crown prince and had everything in the world.

When he lost this status, it was undeniable that Crown Prince Edward would be targeted by those who didn’t like him. They didn’t dare to make a move before because Crown Prince Edward is the crown prince.

But when it changed, could things remain the same?

Adela could guess that it wouldn’t.

And this made her feel dejected.

Was she only going to be Crown Prince Edward’s fiancée for such a short period of time before losing it?

Adela was 100% unwilling.

But it was not like she didn’t have any other options.

Turning her head to the side, she saw Louis who was sorting out the documents on the table. Prime Minister Lat had arranged for Louis to help him with his work to a certain degree.

While it was not much, Louis was already given a position in the court by the Yellow Kingdom’s King. In this way, he could check these documents with confidence and didn’t have to worry about seeing a secret that he shouldn’t see.

If Adela has to say, Louis is not that bad either.

But she had read the game and knew that what Louis wanted is a woman who was like his mother. A woman who would follow his words unconditionally and always support him.

Adela liked this character in the game.

But if it was here, she had no intention to be a person like that.

So even if there was a choice in front of her, Adela didn’t want to follow through Louis’s path until the end.

It was enough to make him follow her words and become her helper in various matters.

Anyway, Adela didn’t want to choose Louis.

"Is there anything, Lady Adela?" Louis noticed Adela’s gaze and raised his head in confusion.

"No, it’s nothing." Adela shook her head.

Anyway, Louis is out of the question, so there were only two people left.
